Thinking back to the last job in which I applied for, the job description did influence my decision to apply for the position in many ways. The job description influenced my decision to apply because it laid out what aspects the job was going to cover, the tasks designated with it, and what the typical job duties were. This was important to me because the job description is what first spikes your interest in the job, it’s pretty much all the knowledge you have of the job so far. Therefore the job description is important because it is what’s going to initially interest people and depicts whether they are going to apply or not. Specifically the job in which I was applying for was at Ulta, a makeup\/cosmetics store; and the job description said something along the lines of being knowledgeable with different makeup brands (which I was), influencing customers to purchase recommended products, being able to work a cash register, customer service, etc. Having a job description where people can relate to the needs desired is important, and in my case was well suited for me. My job experience matched the job description pretty well and I ended up doing most of the things on the original description, and more. The ways in which it was similar was I worked the cash register a lot, I helped influence customers to buy certain products we were promoting, I tailored to individual customers needs with recommended products, etc. The ways in which it was different was I had to watch different makeup brands videos to better inform myself on their products and purpose, which was not in the job description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
